That has been one of the hardest things for our small group of friends. Our favorite way to spend an evening, for over 30 years, has been to gather for a communal meal in one of our homes, finishing preparations together while enjoying a beverage, then eating and chatting, an finally enjoying a game of cards or dominoes...we have not done this since last New Years' Eve. This summer we adjusted - one couple carefully preparing appetizers, sharing them outdoors, then ordering pizza.
But New Years' Eve was always our most special time (since 1982-3) with a fancy dinner, games or an activity, and champagne at the ball drop... Probably not an option with temps of -2Fand a foot of snow on the ground today...

- This is very difficult for all of us. My sister lives 5 minutes away and yet we haven't been "together" but once and that was outside more than a month ago. My brother-in-law works in the city and I just won't take the chance of being around him. I haven't seen my only son in more than a year nor any of my friends or nephew and his partner. It's a horrible situation but as @fiesty76 says, "it's difficult as the thought of having an empty chair at our next holiday gathering. I used to have a fairly large family but it is down to very few now. I don't want to miss any of them.
Merry
